It's always a good idea to ensure that the actual bosses know how vital you are. If you drop some hints about the actual 'dead wood' then that's a bonus. It does seem that some people get away with years of slacking. I follow Fesshole over on Mastodon and there's a few such stories there. We need something similar on Hive.
I remember fesshole I think. Ewan it on twitter before it became shit?
I think that is the key asked once on which I do my best, all the decent bosses know I'm the one to check in with!
I wish more people would move from Twtr to Hive. A lot went to Mastodon and things like Bluesky and Threads (not Leo) that I haven't even looked at. I decided that I can't keep joining all the new platforms and need to focus on the bare minimum.
I have quit joining lots of new ones. Stick with here and the odd other. Trying to use Twitter lots as it's become an alt-right binfire of bots and trolls.
I wish it were easier to be upset of hive for new people. Different front ends, different concepts is what is acceptable use. It's too dashed tricky for newbs unless they have cojones of steel
